Brief Summary

Read full entry
This bat would be a welcome addition to an exterminator’s tools if it could be trained, because it readily eats cockroaches and katydids. It has short, broad wings, which lend themselves to maneuverable flight, and probably gleans insects from the ground or from foliage. It is sometimes seen flying low along forest trails in the hour after sunset, but it is not often caught in mist nets, suggesting that it is uncommon. Although it occurs in several different kinds of forest habitats, little is know about where it roosts or other aspects of its life.
